Cheap/free mods

charliegates · 10-11-2009, 10:35 PM

This is my first post / mod! I followed a set of instructions for a 2008 to turn off the seat belt chime. It was a no go. I followed a second very similar step with positive results! No more pesky seat belt chime. Here is a cut and past of the instructions that worked on my 2009 six cyl.

I don't know if the type of engine changes computer / instructions. I also do not know how long this lasts. Is this going to reset at my next dead battery or power loss?

Seat belt chime
1. Turn the ignition switch on (without starting car)
2. Press the ODO/TRIP switch until the odometer displays "ODO"
3. Turn the ignition switch off
4. Turn the ignition switch on
5. Press ODO/TRIP switch immediately (within 6 seconds after turning the power switch ON) and hold it down for 10 seconds or more.
6. Continue holding the ODO/TRIP switch and fasten the front drivers's side seat belt.
7. Check that the odometer displays either "b-on" or "b-off" (it will be "b-on")
8. Press the ODO/TRIP button to change the display to "b-off".
9. Turn the ignition switch off.
10. Turn the ignition switch on while depressing the brake pedal.
11. Check that no buzzer sounds when setting on the front passenger seat

Yes. It will reset when power to the ECU is lost. I have done this mod twice (had to disconnect the batter for another mod).

Here is a mod originally from TRDtoy79.
It is one of my favorites because it's free and clever (only for 2008):

How much are you willing to pay for me to tell you the code that turns the seat belt chime off?

No, I'm not kidding. I have the code and tested it on my '08 Taco.

No takers??? Fine then! Hope you enjoy listening to that endless, annoying seat belt chime.

OK, I give. Here it is. BTW you guys are no fun :

1) Turn the Car 'ON', but do not start the engine (Leave your foot off the brake). Cycle your trip reset knob until it reads ODO. Turn the ignition back off. Wait a couple of seconds.
2) Make sure seat belt is not fastened
3) Turn the ignition back on, do not start the car (Leave you foot off the break) As soon as you see everything light up, press and hold the trip reset knob and do a long 12 second count.
4) Keep your finger on the trip reset knob. Fasten your seat belt, as soon as you fasten your seat belt, you should see the ODO display go from XXXX miles to "b-on". At that time take your finger off the trip reset knob and press it again. It should cycle to "b-off". You should be all set and turn the ignition off and unfasten your seat belt.

SWEET!!

i love this guy! thank u man

Is it just the filter element you are selling or the whole CAI?

Edit:EZDown tailgate strut available for '05+ Tacomas - Toyota Forums :: Toyota Nation

Negative posts start around #55 as people actually get it installed and see how it really works.

Thats right, it does rub and the tailgate binds on the right side, and scratches the paint. The support cable on the left where the strut is binds up and is getting mangled...but oh well.
